Size guide.
Antique and vintage clothing sizing often doesn’t line up with modern size standards, so we prefer to list objective measurements in our item listings, particularly for pre 1960’s styles where shape wear was much more commonly worn.
See here an approximate list of size conversions based on dressmakers mannequins, but if you have any questions about fit, feel free to reach out.
